(NC)-Whether it's your favourite made-to-order coffee creation, personalized ringtones for everyone on your contact list or special sneakers you designed online, consumers around the world are creating customized merchandise to speak to their individual style sensibilities.

And this season, interpreting runway beauty trends will be easier than ever with two new customizable compacts from beauty leader Mary Kay. The sleek black compacts use an innovative magnetic refill system that allows you to swap out colour cosmetics, powders, liners and applicators as your fall look requires.

A smaller, purse-friendly compact fits beautifully in hand and has space for a complete colour look that can be swapped with ease via a quick release tab. The larger Compact Pro was designed for the makeup artist in every woman, taming bathroom countertop clutter with simple organization.

"The Mary Kay Compact Pro is an easy, convenient way to store and organize your favourite products and colours," explains Debra Joseph, director of marketing, e-business and communications at Mary Kay Cosmetics Ltd. "It can be filled with your choice of glamourous shades - eye colour, eyeliner, cheek colour, pressed powder, bronzing powder and highlighting powder. It's even spacious enough to hold a lipstick, a lip gloss and a lip liner - all must-haves in a season where lips take centre stage."

Additionally, the compact's unique refill system makes an eco-chic choice for glamour girls with a conscience. Mary Kay estimates that the new compacts will help eliminate 60 million units of packaging and more than 60,000 tons of carbon emissions worldwide.

So go ahead and flirt with this season's hottest makeup trends. In fact, you're encouraged to, because with Mary Kay compacts you'll be ready for anything and surprised by nothing.

We all love dressing up and we all love to experiment with our looks every now and then. When we go through these experimentation phases, we end up with a lot of jewelry that we do not use afterwards and many people often throw these away.
